lab 115


Main purpose


Run experiment 2: "Measuring the production of N2O from Nitrite NO2-

anaerobically in order to characterize the behavior of E.coli.

Who was in the lab


Ariadni, Helen, Natalia

Procedure


Adjusting the temperature at 37 degrees and calibrating the probes as described in Appendix 5.


Following the protocol "Experiment 2: Measuring production of N2O from Nitrite NO2- anaerobically"

Changing the steps :

6. 3 ml of the overnight culture (from glycerol stock) in 200 ml of medium with OD=0.0317.

7. Then added 3 ml more after 2 hours and the OD was 0.1046. The OD after 1 hour was 0.1340. Afterwards we added glycerol 1g in 10 ml of water and then added in our growing culture. Then after 40 min the OD was 0.2737. (Setup wavelength 600 nm).

8. We didn't cool down the centrifuge because the experiment had to be done in 37 degrees.

11. The volume was 200 ml instead of 100 ml.

12. The OD was measured 0.1324 instead of 0.3.

15. 10 minutes of N2 saturation instead of 5 minutes.

19. Add 0.5 ml of nitrite solution and continue by adding 0.5 ml after 10 minutes then we took 2.2 ml of sample, we added then 1 ml and we show a slow response after 6 minutes. Afterwards when there was any change in the curve we spiked with 1 ml of nitrite. We continued as there was no response by adding 1 ml more and then by adding 2 ml more. We took 2 ml for sample in the end and another 2 ml for OD measurement where OD=0.1350. One hour after we took 2 ml of sample and then we spiked with 1 ml of NO2. There was no response after 12 minutes. Then we spiked with 0.5 ml of N2O and we show a big response.

Results


Colorimetric results

Ammonium

Measuring range 2-75 mg/L NH4-N

start point- signal <2 mg/L

middle point- signal 2 mg/L

end point- signal <2 mg/L


Nitrate

Measuring range 1-25 mg/L NO3-N

start point- signal <1 mg/L

middle point- signal <1 mg/L but visible pinker

end point- signal <1 mg/L but much visible pinker


Nitrite

Measuring range 0.02-1 mg/L NO2-N

start point- signal <0.02 mg/L

middle point- signal 0.29 mg/L

end point- signal 0.70 mg/L after X2 dilution


Point before spiking with N2O at the end measurement 1.03 mg/L (x2 dilution)- 0.5 mg/L (x4 dilution)
